These guys are fans too. They've found extensions of their interest in TRON and ended up with some pretty cool results.
Here's a French Cardboard remake of the speeder-bike race. Check it out...
Pretty cool, eh?
I don't know if you would call THIS cool. But here's an interview from the Jimmy Kimmel show with Jay Maynard, the TRON guy. (A few years ago, Jay made his own TRON costume and posted the pics on the internet. And because Jay is a little overweight and has a funny little moustache and because most people couldn't fathom the desire to do something like this...the pictures became an internet sensation.)
Why, here's one of them now...
So, yeah, that's Jay, in his costume. And maybe you can imagine why people forwarded his pics all over the internet.
Eventually, the Jimmy Kimmel show called, requesting that Jay come on the show and he did and here's what his visit was like...

I bet that guy was voted most popular in high school.
Well sure. And he got to the Jimmy Kimmel show, amazingly enough. (There are a couple different Jay Maynard videos on Youtube. He's a bit of an internet phenomenon. The Kimmel appearance, though, is the best.)
Cheers,
Mr.B
If you liked that Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance, you can see the rest of them on the videos section of my webpage.
HOLY CRAP, JAY MAYNARD JUST POSTED ON MY BLOG!
I keep forgetting that the people that I talk about on this blog are REAL PEOPLE and can search for themselves just like anyone else can.
Jay,
I hope my posting about you didn't offend. I was just excited to see you pop up, walking and talking in a clip. (The pics of you, don't say much.)
You look like you're weathering the cyber-whirlwind of attention pretty well. Like you've got your head squarely on your shoulders.
Heading over to your website for a quick peek,
Mr.B
Your entry didn't offend me at all.
As for seeing it: Google Blog Search is your friend. You can even set up an ongoing search that will generate an RSS feed of hits as people add them. It works very, very well. I've got two of them, one for the words "tron guy", one for links to tronguy.net.
I'm still the same guy I was before all this happened, although I'll never again be truly anonymous. I was an Internet geek long before the costume, and I'll be one long after it hit the net for the first time. That includes not being afraid to post comments where I feedl the need. :-)
